Esquimalt rising: Corvette Landing condo one of several major projects eyed for municipality

Esquimalt council has approved a 12-storey, 83-unit condominium development slated for the nexus of Admirals Road, Naden Way and Constance Avenue overlooking CFB Esquimalt. The project will incorporate an energy-saving design utilizing a unique construction method.

Its a modular build. 'Cubes' will be built with full elec/plumbing on the mainland, shipped over and craned into place. Construction is expected to take half the time of traditional concrete build. Its also Passive House certified... this is shaping up to be a pretty exciting build actually.

Exciting perhaps, aesthetically pleasing...well, time will tell. It's fortunate that this project has zero competition in the visual appeal department anywhere in close proximity.

Agreed, the location is less than stellar. Also, Passive House builds are focused on energy efficiency, so don't expect expansive glazing walls... looks not too bad based on the rendering. Either way, glad to see someone is thinking outside of the curtain wall/concrete box.
